Improve Network Reliability
SurvalentONE SCADA offers unparalleled visibility
into your distribution network, dramatically
expanding your awareness of daily operations.
Collecting and analyzing network data with
SurvalentONE SCADA enables you to detect
problems before they occur and make the
necessary adjustments to prevent an outage.
When an outage does occur, SurvalentONE SCADA’s
advanced data collection capabilities help field crews
identify the exact location without having to wait for
customers to call in. As well, by isolating outages and
rerouting power to unaffected sections, operators
can control telemetered devices remotely, restoring
power far more quickly and eliminating the need for
costly truck rolls.
SurvalentONE SCADA
Operating an electric, gas, water, or transit utility
requires a high degree of analysis, planning, oversight,
and coordination that is difficult to achieve without the
support of a modern, centralized Supervisory Control
and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system.
SurvalentONE SCADA provides a real-time overview
of an entire utility network, as well as detailed insight
into the current and historical state of individual
field devices. As your network grows and evolves,
SurvalentONE SCADA can grow with it, providing
a solid foundation for Survalent’s extensive suite
of ADMS applications.
SurvalentONE SCADA is interoperable with devices
from all manufacturers, supports a large suite of
industry standard protocols, and supports up to quad
redundancy which virtually eliminates downtime risk.
Streamline Operations
SurvalentONE SCADA automates routine network
administration, maintenance, and recovery tasks
which allows you to improve productivity within the
control room and in the field. Instead of regularly
dispatching field crews to diagnose problems and
adjust equipment in the field, you can achieve the
same result more quickly and economically by
training operators who can address these issues
remotely from the control room.
The solution allows your field crews
to spend less time running between
substations performing routine tasks
and more time focusing on high-value
network improvements.
For example, connecting an intelligent electronic
device (IED) to the SCADA system is a routine task
that can be both time-consuming and error-prone.
With IED Wizard, operators can automate the creation
of SCADA database points for IEDs, which eliminates
point addressing errors, and reduces development
and maintenance time. It features a powerful RTU
mapping tool and a library of the most common IEDs,
greatly simplifying the set-up process.
The IED Control Panel allows you to rapidly configure,
view and operate a photo-realistic representation of
each IED.
Since SurvalentONE SCADA is compatible with popular
Microsoft Office productivity applications, reports can
be easily created and disseminated to internal and
external stakeholders.

Optional SCADA Applications
These applications allow you to increase the volume of network data that you collect and expand your
ability to analyze that data, for more informed decision making. Easy to install and use, these applications
are designed to facilitate communication within your utility by notifying key personnel about significant
events and efficiently disseminating information to internal stakeholders who require it.
▪ Automatic Generation Control
Regulates the power output of electric generators
according to a specified system frequency and/or
scheduled interchange. Dispatchers can choose
from one of four operational modes — Constant
Net Interchange, Constant Frequency, Tie Line Bias,
or Tie Line Bias plus Automatic Time Error — to
calculate a NERC-compliant value for the area
control error.
The application features economic dispatch
calculation, monitoring of generation capacity
reserves, scheduling of power interchange
transactions, support for jointly owned units,
and much more.
▪ Disturbance Capture
Records the state of SurvalentONE SCADA before
and after a user-defined disturbance, and then
analyzes all system wide changes in analog and
status points. The application keeps a detailed
log of dates and times, trigger points, reasons
for a disturbance, and recorded lengths.
Users are able to set pre-and post-disturbance
durations and sampling rates, and define trigger
points for each disturbance capture. They can also
perform graphical analyses of all points in the SCADA
system using the included Point Capture Viewer.
▪ Event Data Recording
Logs all status changes, changes in selected analog
points (can be calculated points), control actions,
sequence of events data, and radio load shed
commands in an online data file that can store up
to 30 days of event data. With the built-in reporting
feature, users can filter and analyze the data by
event type, point name (with wildcards), and date/
time range.
SurvalentONE SCADA
▪ External Alarm Bell
Activates standalone audible and/or visible alarm
devices to warn of critical changes in the network.
This application is particularly useful for attracting
the attention of personnel who work in noisy
operating environments or outdoor locations.
Each alarm bell can be narrowly defined by
a distinct set of attributes, making it easy to
communicate specific network conditions to
key personnel. Regardless of how many bells
are configured, the system always triggers an
audible alarm at SurvalentONE workstations.
▪ Fault Data Recorder
Detects fault information such as fault type and
fault current stored in relays, then uploads and
records the data in the SurvalentONE SCADA
database. Users can identify fault data points, as
well as other points and parameters involved in
the data retrieval process. The application can be
configured for either automatic or manual uploads.
▪ Master/Slave Alarm Suppression
Defines a hierarchy of primary and secondary
alarm point relationships so that only the real
cause of a problem (i.e., the master) is presented
on the alarm display in SurvalentONE SCADA.
If the alarm suppression function is enabled for a
user-defined master/slave relationship, alarms on
the slave points will be suppressed whenever the
master point is in the alarm state. The application
includes a group acknowledgement function that
allows users to automatically acknowledge all slave
alarms when they acknowledge an alarm on the
master point.
▪ Operations & Outage Accounting
Scans the SurvalentONE SCADA event data file of
the previous day and generates accounting data
such as the number of operations caused by
operator control, number of operations caused
by protective relaying, outage start times, and
outage durations.
The application is fully configurable, with tools
for specifying which devices to track, how many
operations to allow before an alarm is triggered,
and much more.
Optional Browser-Based Applications
These applications offer secure, read-only access to information stored in your SCADA system such as maps,
alarms, and historical data. These applications allow key personnel to check network status from a remote
computer or mobile device instead of travelling back to the control room every time a problem arises.
▪ WebSurv
Gives authorized users read-only access to
SCADA data from any Internet-connected
computer. The application supports panning,
zooming, dynamic line coloring, and other
dynamic SmartVU features.
Dynamic SmartVU graphics are rendered by
HTML5 or SVG, depending on the browser’s
capabilities, while the refresh rate for dynamic
data, alarms, and graphics is entirely user-defined.
WebSurv includes custom reports, secure login,
and a user-friendly interface that displays the data
in Survalent Explorer.
▪ Virtual RTU
Sets up virtual devices that can be polled by other
master stations via protocols (DNP3.0, Modbus,
ICCP, MultiSpeak, IEC-101 or 104, etc.) simplifying
how data is shared between SCADA master stations.
Since each dataset can be assigned to multiple
Virtual RTUs, and is therefore available to multiple
master systems, there is no need to maintain
duplicate dataset definitions. By default, every
virtual RTU is set up to include sections for status,
analog, accumulator, control, and set points.
New points can be added using the application’s
intuitive Drag-and-Drop Point Browser.
▪ SurvCentral
Provides read-only, online displays of SCADA data
formatted especially for the small touchscreens of
mobile devices. Through SurvCentral, users enjoy
anywhere, anytime access to network information,
allowing them to maintain situational awareness
and respond quickly when problems arise.
The application features built-in reports, secure
login, session expiration, and user account
management tools for administrators. Tabular
and graphical data can be displayed on any
mobile device with a browser.
